Quantifying Pain Location and Intensity with Multimodal Pain Body Diagrams

Current pain scales used to quantify pain severity, such as visual analog scales, fail to capture the complexity of subjective pain experiences. Pain body diagrams are qualitative but may be more informative. The goal of this method is to extract quantitative metrics from pain body diagrams using novel pressure-hue...

Spontaneous and Evoked Measures of Pain in Murine Models of Monoarticular Knee Pain08:03

Spontaneous and Evoked Measures of Pain in Murine Models of Monoarticular Knee Pain

We have developed an evoked measure of arthritis pain and coupled it with a standardized method for measuring spontaneous pain in different murine models of chemically induced arthritis. These measures are sensitive and reproducible for different types of joint...

An Experimental Paradigm for the Prediction of Post-Operative Pain (PPOP)

Diffuse noxious inhibitory control, temporal summation and wound hyperalgesia testing are demonstrated in the obstetric patient. These tests evaluate inhibitory and excitatory mechanisms of pain processing and are here utilized to evaluate endogenous analgesia at different time-points during pregnancy and the peripartum period to help reveal individual s risk for persistent...

Development of Recombinant Proteins to Treat Chronic Pain

In this paper we provide details for the methods of production and quality control of an IL4-10 recombinant fusion protein. We also show how to test the effectiveness of this protein to resolve pain in a mouse model of inflammatory pain.
